Land Rover believes in following an uncharted path with its impressive lineup. On the one hand, this premium British brand only sells SUVs, so it’s laser-focused on delivering robust rides that can ford rivers and crawl over rocks while leaving almost everyone else behind. But Land Rover SUVs also push the limits on luxury, with choices that span from the avant-garde Velar to the legendary Defender that’s an off-road icon. And models like the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport showcase plug-in hybrid powertrains that add efficiency into the mix.

The Smart Shopper’s Guide to Buying Used Land Rover Vehicles in San Diego
Why Buy a Used Land Rover?
Even though Land Rover is an upscale brand, smart customers can still save thousands of dollars simply by purchasing a pre-owned model. The obvious starting point is that used SUVs are generally priced lower than their brand-new counterparts, and that mostly has to do with depreciation. New vehicles tend to lose their biggest chunk of value in their first years on the road, so it’s the original owner who takes the biggest hit. Then, since a pre-owned vehicle costs less to buy, it’s usually less to insure, too. Because of all these savings, you’re actually getting more bang for your buck with a used Land Rover: You enjoy the same great features that a new-car owner is paying for, but it costs you less money to get them.
And with used-vehicle history reports being so simple to get, it’s easy to check on a pre-owned model’s past life to see how it’s been treated by earlier drivers. You can also consider shopping our Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Land Rovers that deliver added peace of mind thanks to our comprehensive inspection process and warranty coverage.

A Brief History of Land Rover
Land Rover’s roots go back to 1947 when Maurice Wilks, an English automotive engineer, was working for the Rover Motor Car Company. Maurice and his brother Spencer were looking for a rugged vehicle that would be as well-suited to farm life as the Willys Jeep they were already using, and inspired by that classic, and from their early ideas, the first Land Rover prototype was developed.
Launching in 1948, that original Land Rover opened the way for a slew of bold SUVs that had a habit of making headlines for adventures like a 1955 overlanding journey from London to Singapore. The lineup expanded over the years and really took off as sport-utility vehicles became more and more popular around the world. Today, the brand continues to demonstrate SUV excellence with models that have even included the convertible Range Rover Evoque.
